“This is like if Bill Clinton had come out and said, ‘Wait, no, I meant to say I did have sexual relations with that woman!” Kimmel said.

Stephen Colbert applied the concept to the general public.

The hosts’ remarks came after Trump said that he misspoke in Helsinki. When asked Monday about U.S. intelligence officials’ findings that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election, Trump said he couldn’t figure why Russia “would” have been involved.

On Tuesday, Trump said he made a mistake and that he meant to say he couldn’t imagine why Russia “wouldn’t” have interfered in the election.

Hours after the news conference concluded in Finland on Monday, the late-night hosts responded to the Trump's remarks, calling them bizarre and detailing their amazement. Kimmel said Monday might have been the “weirdest” day of Trump’s presidency.

“Today has shaken me to my core — and I don’t need to point out that at 54 there’s not a lot of core left,” Colbert said.
